Simon Fraser University has compromised personal information attached to more than 100,000 requests sent to its IT services department over the last three years.

On Jan. 27, SFU IT services inadvertently copied incidents, inquiries and requests it had received between 2013 and 2016 onto a server with an unprotected database during a transition to a new system, communications director Kurt Heinrich told the NOW. The exposed database was discovered on May 16 and taken offline on May 17.

It contained 20,294 email addresses, personal contact information and other personal information about students, staff and faculty, depending on the nature of the IT incident, inquiry or request they sent.

While the information was exposed for nearly four months, Heinrich said the university has seen no evidence it was accessed by an outside party.

“The database was simply left unprotected,” he said. “We have no evidence

GEORGE DERBY CENTRE

Veterans’ care home laying off nurses Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby care home for veteran seniors is moving ahead with a plan to contract out all nursing staff following a financial review by Fraser Health.

“We are going to make an announcement (Wednes-

day) to continue our contract-out process,” said Ricky Kwan, executive director of the George Derby Care Society. “After all this time, unfortunately there’s no viable offers or options, so we have no choice but to go through the contractout process, and we will be bringing in a new contract.”

The centre first issued layoff notices to more than 50 nurses in early May, citing financial problems. At the time, Kwan said if he could get $1 million in extra funding from Fraser Health he would reverse the contracting-out process, but the health authority did its own review and found George

There’s no viable offers or options Derby was receiving an adequate amount of funding.

“The review found they

are appropriately funded,” said Tasleem Juma, spokesperson for Fraser Health. “If we compare them to other organizations that are expected to provide the same level of care, they are getting the same amount of money.”

Fraser Health gives the centre $17 million per year

to cover care costs for both civilians and veterans.

Fraser Health is not offering additional funding to help George Derby, but the audit found the centre was paying too much for its food and laundry services and suggested that was an area to consider cutting costs.

Centre is a ‘line in the sand’ for nurses’ union will be the ones most affected by this issue. I think it’s disgraceful.These are people who have paid taxes all of their lives and they are entitled to quality nursing care,” she said.

Duteil said the nurses aren’t concerned about their jobs, since Fraser Health will find them new ones, but they are concerned about the seniors they’re leaving behind.

“These nurses have been caring for these residents, some of them for as long as 26 years,” Duteil said, adding a “revolving door of care” under a new contractor is not good for residents and seniors’ care.

“It’s really quite awful that this is ongoing.We’re continuing our discussion with Fraser Health and more will be forthcoming,” she said.

When asked what, specifically, was forthcoming, Duteil did not reveal details but replied, “I made it clear that George Derby was a line in the sand with respect to seniors’ care, and it remains that,” she said.

lack of information to family representatives are deplorable.The refusal of the board to let family members join their secretive taxexempt care society must not be tolerated any longer,” he said via email from overseas. “I challenge the board members of the George Derby Secret Care Society to appear before the family council to justify and explain their decision and process.”

George Derby’s bylaws prohibit residents’ family members from joining the society that oversees the care centre’s operations.

The nurses’ jobs are protected by a provincewide contract, so Fraser Health will have to find them work elsewhere. Some nurses have been working at the seniors’ home for decades. If any want to continue working at George Derby, they will likely have to leave the union and take a pay cut.

Gayle Duteil, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, said both Fraser Health and George Derby were pointing fingers.

Continued from page 1 According to Fraser Health, one of the main contributing factors to George Derby’s financial demise was a lack of preparation for funding reductions from Veterans Affairs Canada, despite advance notice dating back several years.

Veterans Affairs used to give the centre a chunk of funding to cover special care and programs for veterans, and some civilian residents were lumped into those specially funded programs.

But that funding changed to a per capita model as the number of veterans decreased and more civilians moved in.

According to a June 22 George Derby memo sent to residents and family members, Pro Vita Care Management will take over the nursing contract.The new registered nurses will start on July 12, and the new licensed practical nurses will start on Nov. 9.

Paul Ballinger, head of the centre’s family council, was angered by the news.

City now Want to buy a refinery?

Chevron seeks interest Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Chevron Canada Ltd. is testing the waters to see if anyone is interested in buying the company’s refining and marketing assets, which means the Burnaby refinery could be up for sale.

Chevron spokesperson Adrien Byrne confirmed the news with the NOW. “Chevron Canada Ltd. has made a decision to solicit expressions of interest to purchase our refining and marketing assets,” he said.

“It’s really scoping (out) the market interest in the assets.”

Those assets include the Burnaby refinery, which is the last large refinery operating on the West Coast, processing 55,000 barrels of oil per day.

According to Byrne, Chevron is soliciting interested potential buyers for the Burnaby refinery, Chevron’s cardlock stations (where commercial vehi-

cles fill up with fuel), Chevron gas stations and marine assets.

“Indications of interest have been received for our refinery and marketing assets in the past, and acknowledging these are challenging times in our industry, Chevron Canada Ltd. needs to be open to the change in market conditions as they arrive,” Byrne said.

The call for expressions of interest hasn’t gone out yet.

When asked if Chevron would have anything left in B.C. if the gas stations and refinery were sold, Byrne said the company is holding on to its lubricants business.

Contractors and employees were notified of the company’s plan last week.

“During this process, we’ll continue to operate our business in a safe and reliable manner,” Byrne added.

Russ Day, president of Unifor Local 601, which represents the refinery workers, said employees

were notified of the company’s plans.

“They haven’t released much information at this point except that they are taking expressions of interest,” he said. “It’s really hard to know what to make of it.”

Day said the refinery has gone through this process before, and it can take up to two years to figure out if there’s a potential buyer and then no sale goes through.

“It could go one way or the other,” he said.

“With the challenges in the upstream oil market right now, some firms are selling assets to raise money. It’s kind of a symptom of that, of the downturn in the upstream industry,” Day said. “The price of oil is so low, the cost of recovering it isn’t as lucrative as it used to be.”

The only other B.C. refinery is in Prince George, owned by Husky, and it processes 12,000 barrels of oil.

Opinion now MY VIEW JEREMY DEUTSCH

Trump opens the door to a better future Donald Trump may be the best thing for America.

No, I haven’t gone crazy.

For the last year, the billionaire candidate has turned U.S. politics on its head, running a campaign that has him within a legitimate reach of being the most powerful man in the world.

But what Trump has really done is play off the fear and unease that some people have in a changing world. And in some cases, the rise of Trump has exposed a simmering intolerance here in North America that until now, for the most part, lived in the shadows.

But it’s always been there.

Even in Canada too.

So how this all plays out will be very telling.

If he wins, that’s a completely different story. But if the guy who prides himself on being a “winner,” gets destroyed at the polls, and the Republicans are sent reeling him, it will be a complete repudiation by the American people of the racist, bigoted, divisive and cynical ideals Trump has championed in the last year.

As political observers like to repeat in the news cycle, there’s never been a candidate like him.

Well, not in North America anyway.

Across the pond in Europe, guys like Trump have been making political careers for decades, spewing similar nativist/fascist rhetoric against people who look different, have different beliefs or love differently than them.

The rise of these political groups and would-be dictators in Europe has been viewed from afar here in

Canada and the U.S., until now.This year, America is facing its own mini-Hitler moment.

At first, the thought of the The Donald as president, was admittedly funny.

But as we’ve all seen, the 2016 election has created a monster that has not only come to scare a good portion of Americans, but Canadians and people around the world.

His mockery of candidates, the political system and contempt for the media is one thing.That’s all part of his shtick. But his racist attacks, especially against immigrants and Muslims, is what really sets his campaign apart and casts a dark pall over American politics.

This is not about being politically correct, and don’t think for one second a Trump-like politician couldn’t rise to prominence in Canada. If Trump and his ideals seem ugly and wrong, they should, and those discussions about him at home or the office are a good thing.

For the record, I don’t think Trump is going to win. I have faith our neighbours to the south will do the right thing and sanity will prevail. In fact, I’ve bet money on it.

A rout of Trump on election night will not just selfishly fatten my wallet. It should also serve as a good lesson for years to come for anyone, both in the U.S., and hopefully in Canada, who thinks they can get to power by following his same sick blueprint.

Jeremy Deutsch is a reporter with the Burnaby NOW.

OUR VIEW

One step in the right direction It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.

We speak, of course, of the City of Burnaby’s request for proposals to build non-market housing on two city-owned properties.

As detailed in our story on page 10, the city has two properties – one at 7898 18th Ave., the other at 3802 Hastings St. – available as part of its new non-market housing program.

The program is designed to allow designated cityowned lands to be leased at a nominal cost to provid-

ers of non-market housing – including non-profit and/ or cooperative housing associations and senior levels of government.

It’s a reasonable idea.

Granted, the location of the properties isn’t perfect – neither is particularly accessible to rapid transit, and neither is in the Metrotown area, where the biggest housing squeeze is currently taking place.

But hey, it’s still land.

The cost of land – especially in this ludicrous housing market – is an obvious barrier to any group

ought to help pay for – but we will choose to step away from philosophical arguments and instead focus on the positive.

We hope there’s a nonprofit group or a housing association out there that can step forward and take advantage of this land offer.

No, it’s not a full-fledged strategy to address the city’s huge housing challenges. But every good strategy has to start somewhere, and it might as well be here.

that might want to build affordable housing.Taking away that barrier makes it substantially more doable for an association to come forward with a viable operating plan.

Mayor Derek Corrigan has long been vocal about not having property owners take on the tax burden of paying for non-market housing, and this is one way for the city to avoid doing that.

We can quibble with his stance – frankly, we think affordable housing is one of the things that tax dollars

Vandals damaged the foot of the recently completed 30-foot, 30-tonne statue of Lord Chaitanaya at the Hare Krishna temple in August.When then found they couldn’t do much damage to the giant, steel-reinforced concrete figure, they took their ire out on the surrounding shrubbery, wreaking about $2,500 in damage to the statue and surrounding plants. It was the largest free-standing statue in Canada at the time.

Trump vs. Clinton?

Trump, please

Weighing in on the car meet controversy

Dear Editor Re: He’s no joke for the U.S. or Canada, Burnaby NOW, June 8.

Donald Trump may, at times, come across as a bit of a “joker,” but at least it can be said that he is a self-made joker!

The Clinton woman, on the other hand, has financed her campaign from (other than her and her husband’s very questionable charities) by giving “undisclosed” speeches to corporate bankers, stock market elites, and other hustlers, assuring them that the ‘status quo’ will continue – at several thousand dollars per hour!

The reason that Mr. Trump is succeeding thus far is because he refuses to play the “game” as it has been played by both parties, for years. Eight years of Obama tricks has convinced Americans that there is a need for real change.

Canadians should also realize that there are increasing numbers of Mexicans and others from points south, recently showing up in this land in anticipation of a Trump presidency.

To suggest that anyone who disagrees with editorials such as yours are reptilian for agreeing (to some extent, with some of Trump’s policies) are apparently not aware that our laws and ideals are based on our Judeo-Christian values.

That said, Mr. Trump would not have been my first choice, but Mrs. Clinton would have been the absolute last choice of this vast rightwing conspiracist.

Larry Bennett, Burnaby

Transit photo-op bad news for taxpayers Dear Editor Last Thursday’s $740 million photo-op with Justin Trudeau was nothing more than flim flam to get the regional taxpayer to ante up their portion for the very poorly thought out mayors’ grossly expensive 10-year plan, which will benefit developers more than transit customers.

The two centrepieces of this 10-year plan, the Broadway SkyTrain subway and the Surrey LRT, are so poorly thought out, so expensive, won’t reduce congestion and will force more people to drive!

The real winners of the $740 million investment in regional transit: 1. Bombardier Inc., who will get $345 million for new West Coast Express cars and proprietary ART cars (SkyTrain).

2. TransLink’s bureaucrats, who will get $157 million so they can continue to “play trains.”

3. Land developers, who will get relaxed zoning at proposed rapid transit stations.

The big losers: 1. The transit customer, who will suffer more incompetent planning, and not one new bus for South of the Fraser was included.

2. The taxpayer, who has to pay for this questionable transit planning.

It also seems our politicos slept through their high school math classes because how can $250 million a year ($750 million over the next three years) fund a $7.5 billion “10-year plan.”

Do the math: $250 million a year for 10 years gets you $2.5 billion. A $5 billion shortfall.

D. Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Elias Ishak If a motorcycle club of a hundred or so bikes decided to regularly meet in a certain parking lot because of nearby restaurants, that would be tolerated. It’s private property, but that’s the free market. Why should owners of cars be treated any different? If there’s aggressive behavior or racing, then you call the cops, and that’s that. You can’t discriminate against an entire group of people merely because they’re organized. I’ll be boycotting the Market Crossing.

Thanks for the report.

Chase Nick I am one of the of the admins on the Facebook page ‘Thursday Night Meets’ I attempted multiple times to contact the managers of market crossing with out even an email back.

Nearly every person showing up to the meets at very minimum bought a coffee from Tim Hortons. We were all customers.

I think it’s sad they couldn’t find a better way to deal with this.

Mitchell McGarvey There were attempts made by members of the car community to contact management at Market Crossing and not one of us got a response from them. You also attempted to contact the wrong facebook group. Thursday Night Meets is the one you want. The lack of attempted communication upsets me. Especially considering the last 3 weeks we made an attempt to not park anywhere near the London Drugs, knowing that they were the chief complaintant. That said we’re done with Market Crossing and the shopping center has lost a lot of customers over this poorly handled ordeal.

Another take on the gondola up to SFU bill smith Why not? So long as the needs could be met and the financial case is sound.... I sure there would be no need for 7 years of ‘review’, numerous failed lawsuits from Corrigan and so-call social license.

A better idea for the Stormont connector? @Crostyca Never imagine Stormont was on #burnaby transport plans Could tunnel 4 McBride be possible? #newwest @BurnabyNOW_News @mparks3 @Crostyca @Burnaby NOW_News THAT would be a good idea ...

City now Body of missing swimmer found in Fraser River The body of a Burnaby man who went missing in the waters of the Fraser River near Surrey earlier this month has been recovered.

On Tuesday, Surrey RCMP confirmed the man reported missing June 4 was located deceased on a bank of the Fraser River near

Richmond on June 17.

A passerby found the man and called police.

RCMP said his family has been notified and the investigation is being handed over to the B.C. Coroners Service.The name of the man was not released.

“The family asks that

their privacy be respected during this time of grief,” an RCMP press release stated.

The 32-year-old man from Burnaby had been swimming with a group of friends when he was seen going under the water and did not resurface.

Database was left unprotected

Continued from page 1 that any third party accessed the database during the time it was unprotected, nor do we have any evidence that there was any misuse of the information contained in the database. Criminal conduct is not suspected at this time.”

To be on the safe side, the university has put one-year privacy breach holds on the accounts of 8,347 current and former students since unauthorized individuals could use information gleaned from the unprotected database to request documents in students’ names.

Affected students were

alerted to the breach via email on June 3.

Students with holds on their accounts now have to order documents (transcripts or letters confirming enrolment or degree completion) in person or request to have the hold temporarily or permanently removed.

The university is also recommending affected students, staff and faculty closely monitor personal accounts and memberships of all kinds over the next several months.

Heinrich stressed privacy breaches of this kind are very rare and that the university is investigating the

cause and extent of the breach to see if additional actions need to be taken.

“We are also reviewing and changing, as appropriate, physical, procedural and technical security measures as well as internal operating policies to ensure this sort of incident doesn’t happen again,” he said.

Moving forward, he said, the university will also form a “change advisory board,” to improve procedures for detecting unprotected databases and initiate an external audit of information security at the university.

SECONDARY SUITES PROGRAM

COMING IN 2017: SUPPLEMENTARY UTILITY CHARGES AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL FEES FOR SECONDARY SUITES In 2014, City Council adopted a comprehensive program to permit secondary suites in single-family homes. Through this program, all property owners with a secondary suite are subject to ‘Supplementary Utility Charges and Garbage Disposal Fees’ to cover the additional cost of providing increased water, sewer, garbage, and recycling services for suites.

ADVANCE NOTICE OF UTILITY BILLING

$5,000

Properties that have been identified with a secondary suite, but have not yet been charged additional utility and garbage fees, will be mailed a special Advance Notice of Utility Billing package in July/August 2016. The package to property owners will include information on the Secondary Suites Program and the upcoming fees. It will also provide instructions for updating the City’s records for properties that do NOT have a secondary suite.

The additional fees will appear on the annual utility billing notice to be sent in February 2017.

City now City staff going door-to-door to license dogs Canvassers will let pet owners know about city regulations Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

You could soon be getting a friendly knock on the door from Burnaby city staff hoping to convince you to register Spot or Fluffy with the municipality.

It’s all part of the city’s dog licensing program.

Starting this week, dog licence canvassers will be out visiting residents to ensure dogs are licensed, as part of the city’s bylaws.

Clayton Hall, the city’s manager of licensing and regulatory bylaws, explained the program is focused on educating dog owners about the city’s rules and letting them know about the benefits of licensing their pets.

He suggested the benefits, besides being an aid to tracking your dog down if it gets lost and turned in to the pound, include helping to offset the costs of operating the animal shelter and caring for stray animals. Hall also said licences provide statistics for the city to better understand the services it should be offering in the community.

“We’ve really found great success by engaging the public and focusing our efforts on education and awareness,” Hall said, noting the city has run a similar successful canvassing program in the past.

Dog owners will able to buy a dog licence on the spot from the canvassers.

Currently, a licence in Burnaby for a dog spayed or neutered costs $39, and $66 for one unaltered.The fine for not having your dog licensed is $100.The city issued 106 tickets for unli-

censed dogs in 2015.

Hall said dog owners will not be forced to buy a licence from the canvassers, and the city employees are not there to issue fines.

“I think the main message that we’re trying to let people know is this is a benefit for you,” he said.

The program will mostly target single-family homes where the city doesn’t know if the homeowner has a dog.

The program is scheduled to run until October, with canvassers expected to hit up three-quarters of the city by the end.

We’ve really found great success by engaging the public

According to the city, so far in 2016, the city has handed out 5,124 dog licences. A total of 5,543, 5,636 and 5,925 dog licences were handed in out in 2015, 2014 and 2013 respectively.

The city also sold 325 dog licences during the last canvassing program in 2013, during a 20-week period.

Hall said it’s hard to know how many canines are actually in the city, pointing out past estimates suggest 35 to 45 percent of the population have their dogs licensed.

He said the city has recommended in the past the SPCA gather the information in a census.

City now Affordable housing plan takes a step forward City has issued a request for proposals to develop non-market housing on two city-owned properties Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby’s attempt at addressing affordable housing has passed an early milestone.

The city’s request for proposals for interest in the development of non-market housing on two designated sites went live on the B.C. Bid website recently.

The request is intended to generate and evaluate interest in the development of non-market housing on two designated sites under the new City Lands Program for Non-Market Housing Projects.The two properties are located at 7898 18th Ave. and 3802 Hastings St. The bid states the program allows designated city lands to be leased at a nominal cost to providers of nonmarket affordable housing, including non-profit and/or

co-operative housing associations and senior levels of government.

Coun. Colleen Jordan said the city is hoping that a non-profit organization in Burnaby or the region will come forward with some opportunities to build nonmarket housing. She said the city is open to different uses including seniors’ housing, co-op or non-market rental housing.

The councillor expects a lot of interest in the proposal, suggesting land value is the biggest factor in the cost of housing.

“It’s going to take the cost of land out of the equation, and therefore with that factor you can actually build housing that can be affordable over the long term,” she told the NOW, noting the terms of the long-term lease still need to be worked out.

Jordan also expects interest in the city’s proposal, now that it seems the provincial and federal government are making more money available, she said.

Earlier this year, the federal Liberals announced they had set aside more than $208 million for the affordable housing innovation fund – roughly double what provinces were previously receiving for housing.

Jordan said it’s the city’s intent to make the program long-term, adding there are other properties in the municipality that could be used in the future.

The request on B.C. Bids closes on Aug 9.

As of 2015, Burnaby had 7,876 non-market housing units or beds in 154 developments, while one-third of all non-market housing units are designated for seniors.

Communitynow Hands-on training for X-ray tech the world, the 31-year-old Burnaby resident was just outside of Toronto learning how to help set up a field hospital and take X-rays in a mass-casualty situation.

She and her colleagues also practised how to evacuate if things went wrong.

“Afterwards we were all kind of hyped on adrenaline,” Shandley told the NOW.

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Just a couple weeks before walking the stage to receive her bachelor of arts in health sciences at SFU this month, X-ray technologist Lauren Shandley was in a very different world.

Preparing for work with the Canadian Red Cross in disaster zones around

For part of her 10 days of training, her team was thrown into a disaster simulation, complete with 100 casualties played by actors in gory makeup.

“It was intense,” Shandley said. “I was like, wow, this is about as real as it could get for training purposes.”

As a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie who

works at Royal Columbian Hospital (the Fraser Health region’s main trauma centre), Shandley knows how to work on the fly, but simulating how to work with limited resources in a disaster zone has given her a taste of what her work with the Canadian Red Emergency Response Team will be like.

‘My passion lies in the health of the human race’

Continued from page 14 “You can prepare only so much, but until you’ve had a bit of a taste of it, you don’t actually know how you’re going to react,” she said. “It kind of helps you build confidence and have a starting point.”

Shandley’s trip to Toronto was the culmination of her Red Cross training, which began in March, and she is now on call for that organization’s Emergency Response Team, meaning she could be deployed to a disaster zone at any time with 48 hours’ notice.

She has also been on the roster of Doctors Without Borders since October but has yet to be deployed.

A 2008 grad of BCIT’s medical radiography program, Shandley initially assumed she’d leave medical imaging behind once she’d earned her BA in health sciences with a focus on global health at SFU. “I always have a need to learn and grow and I found, as an X-ray tech, there’s a

lot of opportunity to learn and grow, and I did quite a bit of that, but then there was a point where I was like, I need more.”

When a Doctors Without Borders job posting landed in her email inbox about a year ago, however, she realized there were ways she could combine her X-ray experience and her growing interest in global humanitarian work, and she began

to seek out other opportunities, like the Red Cross.

“My passion lies in health of the human race and breaking down barriers to access, especially to some of the most marginalized people, such as women and children, especially in these settings,” Shandley said. “We have technology and the capability, so why not, right?”

Your journey starts here.

An Impressive Encore Performance

BY DAVID CHAO

BMW’s W smallest crossover SUV (or SAV which stands d for Sport Activity Vehicle by BMW) is all-new e in 2016.

Like its i larger siblings, the X3 and X5, the X1 combines the versatility and higher ride o height h of an SUV with the fun dynamics of a BMW sedan. It’s the way it drives that B separates it from rivals like the Audi Q3, r Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC60. c Now w in its second generation, the 2016 BMW X1 loses some of its spirited nature, but gains interior room and more advanced features. The North American lineup has also been trimmed down to just one model.

Design

As mentioned, the BMW X1 has been completely redesigned for 2016. Now, it is slightly larger on the outside, but it is significantly roomier inside.

Retaining its conventional layout with four doors and two rows of seats, the BMW X1 can still carry five passengers. The restyled dash is sleek and angular, and the soft-touch materials and wood accents give it a premium feel.

The 2016 X1 stands 1.7 inches taller, but ground clearance has only increased slightly, allowing the cabin to provide more headroom. And, while overall length is a little less than before, the wheelbase is longer creating more legroom for rear seat for rear passengers.

The previous generation X1 was based on the 3 Series Touring. This allowed the X1 to be either rear-wheel or permanent all-wheel drive. This new X1 is built on the MINI platform, which is a front-wheel drive architecture. This means BMW can no longer offer the X1 as RWD or with a V6.

Despite this change, the overall look of the new X1 is a much nicer. Styling is still in line with the rest of the BMW range, with its signature kidneyshaped grille. The standard LED daytime running lights and optional full-LED headlights make a strong statement. The M Sport package adds further flair.

The xDrive28i is the only X1 model BMW has made available to Canadian consumers.

Performance

While the previous high-performance 300 hp V6 is no longer an option, the reality is that most buyers didn’t want the extra horsepower as it was the slowest selling of the bunch. The new X1 is designed to please the majority of customers.

To that end, the 2016 X1 is powered by a new turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder. It is rated at 228 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, and BMW claims it will hit 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds and will push on to a top speed of 210 km/h.

Every X1 is equipped with BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive system. Also, all X1s use an 8-speed automatic transmission.

While the X1 is confident and sure-footed thanks to its AWD system, it’s not as thrilling at its limits compared to the old model. But, the new X1 is still more dynamic than any of its direct competitors.

Steering feel is lighter than before, which makes the X1 more pleasant to drive in town. Its raised riding position also helps, giving a good view of the traffic. Rear and blind spot visibility is good, too.

Despite its raised ride height, the BMW X1 doesn’t suffer from excessive wind noise. Also, some may find the ride a little firmer than they like in a crossover SUV.

Environment

Sitting inside the X1 is exactly as you expect from BMW, which is to say it is very comfortable. Eightway power adjustable front seats are standard, although, the standard faux leather seats feel a little lower-market.

However, it’s the rear seat passengers who benefit the most from the update. Nowhere are the changes to the X1’s dimensions felt more than in the back. Knee room is up 1.5-inches, and since the front seats have been raised, there is additional space to put your feet. If you want even more rear seat space, there is an optional sliding second row that can also recline.

It’s not entirely perfect, though, as there are a few minor complaints. The large transmission tunnel and narrow middle seat means the X1 will struggle to comfortably accommodate three abreast, especially adults.

Storage space throughout the X1’s cabin is generally good.

There’s a two-tiered centre cubby, large door bins front and rear, and front seatback pockets to hold all your smaller items.

For your larger items, the X1 has a generous and versatile cargo area. A power tailgate is standard and cargo space is larger than before and in its rivals. The load floor is completely flat with no lip to lift over.

Should you require even more room, the split rear seats fold flat with the touch of a button. Another trick the X1 boasts is additional storage hidden under the floor, and if you need to carry a tall item, this false floor can be removed.

Features

The starting price for the 2016 BMW X1 xDrive28i is $38,800.

Standard equipment includes automatic climate control, heated front seats, a multi-function steering wheel, rear parking sensors, rearview camera, dynamic cruise control, and runflat tires.

Additional features, available as options, include a heated steering wheel, auto dimming mirrors, head-up display, panoramic sunroof, lane departure and collision warning, navigation, and on-board internet.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) are 10.7 city, 7.4 highway, and 9.2 combined.

Thumbs Up

The second generation X1 is a vast improvement over the original. It boasts an impressive level of practicality and a driving nature fitting of the BMW name.

Thumbs Down

While there’s a lot to like, the BMW X1 is far from the most affordable. Also, if you want a high-performance model, you will need to look elsewhere.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for a small, luxury crossover that offers peppy road manners and commendable cargo room, the all-new 2016 BMW X1 should grab your attention.

Communitynow HEALTH

Symptoms to watch for if you suspect heart disease HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Are you at risk for heart disease?

The simple answer is yes.

We all are.

As we age, so do our blood vessels.With advancing years, plaque accumulates within the arteries that supply the heart muscle (causing angina and heart attacks), our brains (causing dementia and strokes) and our extremities (causing peripheral vascular disease).

If we are lucky enough not to die from accidents, cancer or dementia, by the time we are in our 80s, we are likely to die from a heart attack or stroke.

But some of us are at much higher risk for premature heart disease.

Most of the causes are modifiable – meaning we can reduce our risks through healthy living or medications.We can’t change our age, but we can slow down the aging process.We can’t choose our parents, but knowing family history can empower us to be proactive – to identify and modify our risk factors.

When we think about cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risk.The first place to start is with family history.We consider first-degree relatives (parents and siblings), multiple generations and the ages at which they were diagnosed.

In general, premature heart disease is an event (such as a heart attack) in a male under 55 or a female under 65. Increased family risk may also be indicated by heart disease in each generation (e.g. your father, his mother and maternal

aunts and uncles).

Some people think of family history with a sense of fatalism.

One patient, whose father and paternal uncles all died in their 40s, expected to die soon after his 40th birthday. It didn’t stop him from smoking.

But a strong family history is like a visit from Christmas Future.That might be your fate if you don’t make changes today. A family history of heart disease should encourage us to be proactive, identify the particular risk factors common in the family tree and treat them early.

Common hereditary conditions that predispose us to premature atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) are high blood pressure, diabetes, high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol.

All of these conditions can be identified early – and, when appropriately treated with healthy eating, appropriate monitoring and medications, we can reduce or eliminate the increased risk.

The more details you know about your family history, the better. Some people only know that their parents had heart conditions.

Heart disease might refer to several distinct conditions: ANGINA Angina refers to chest pain due to narrowed coronary arteries (these are the blood vessels that supply the muscle of the heart).

If those arteries are narrowed, the individual may feel chest pain or pressure with exercise or stress, both of which raise the heart rate and make the heart muscle work harder.The pain is due to ischemia (insufficient

too weak to pump blood throughout the body, the individual feels short of breath and weak.When the pump is failing, blood backs up into the lungs and extremities, causing swelling of the feet and legs and chest congestion, especially when lying down.

… some of us are at much higher risk of premature heart disease.

HEART ATTACK A heart attack or a myocardial infarction is the result of a complete obstruction of a coronary artery.

When no blood flows at all to an area of the heart muscle, the muscle dies and no longer functions.With a massive heart attack, an artery supplying a large area of cardiac muscle is blocked and the heart can no longer pump blood to the brain and the rest of the body.

Small creatures: These tiny hummingbirds were found in a nest at B.C. Hydro’s substation on Lougheed Highway. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Hydro crews protect nest B.C. Hydro crews made a surprising discovery at the Lougheed station recently – a nest with two tiny hummingbirds.

The workers discovered the nest while preparing the substation for maintenance work.

While it’s not unusual for birds to nest in substations, many species are protected

under the federal or provincial regulations.That’s why the B.C. Hydro crew built a barrier around the birds to protect them while they work around the nest.

“There is no further action needed on the nest and crews will leave the birds until they flee,” said spokesperson Kevin Aquino. “One of our natural resource spe-

cialists will be stopping by the site either today or tomorrow to check on the nest.”

B.C. Hydro, in general, tries to discourage wildlife from nesting on substations and infrastructure by installing fences, since the animals can cause safety concerns.

New initiative aims to boost owner builder knowledge of home construction

By Chris Freimond

The Province of British Columbia is introducing a new examination for owner builders as part of its ongoing program to improve the quality of owner-built homes and protect consumers. Owner builders will need to pass the exam before being issued an Owner Builder Authorization after the new requirement comes into effect on July 4, 2016, says Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar, Homeowner Protection Office (HPO), a branch of BC Housing.

B.C. will be the first jurisdiction in Canada and one of only a few in the world to have an exam-based knowledge requirement for owner builders.

This new requirement will help owner builders expand their knowledge and improve the quality of owner-built homes. It will also protect consumers.

An owner builder is a person authorized by the HPO to build a new home for their personal use. They are not required to be licensed by the HPO and do not need to arrange for third-party home warranty insurance on the home.

Who Needs to Apply?

If you want to build a new home as an owner builder in B.C., you must apply to the Homeowner Protection Office for an Owner Builder Authorization and meet all necessary requirements.

www.hpo.bc.ca

You can learn more about the exam and apply for an Owner Builder Authorization at www.hpo.bc.ca

@HPO_BC

• There is a network of exam centres across the province.

• Eligible applicants must attend the exam in person and show ID. • The computer-based exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions.

CruisePlus.ca

“It’s part of a program we introduced a few years ago called Raising the Bar, aimed at improving the level of professionalism in residential construction, and is in line with changes to the Homeowner Protection Act regulation that the province announced in March last year,” she explains.

Starting July 4, 2016, anyone applying for an Owner Builder Authorization in British Columbia will need to pass a knowledge exam on home building basics.

About the Exam

f you’ve been reading these lately you’ve probably noticed a lot of emphasis from me on the Med. Quite honestly, deDAVE FRINTON mand has been down, so prices have come way down – and now Co-Founder really is the time for bargain hunters to take advantage! The first & President, trip, my wife and family are hosting. Departing on August 19th, CruisePlus your 14 night vacation (2 nights hotel and 12 night cruise) on the gorgeous ms Eurodam for a balcony stateroom, an onboard credit, roundtrip Vancouver air and all taxes is great value at $3699 CAD pp – remember this is prime summer holiday time. 3rd/4th person sharing get the cruise fare free. This sailing (out of Venice) ports mainly in Greece and Turkey. The Sept 27 package with similar itinerary (but out of Rome) is an amazing $3199 CAD pp aboard the brand new ms Koningsdam, and then our Oct 9th sailing on the new ship does Italy, Spain and more for $3649 CAD pp. Both of these are also 14 night packages with similar inclusions. Ask about extending your trip either pre or post or consider doing some back to back cruises which adds up to the best value. The following 16 night transatlantic sailing can also be added or booked on its own.

But with approximately 2,500 owner-built homes being constructed in B.C. annually out of a total of 28,000, the province felt it was necessary to ensure that the owner builders had at least some knowledge of home construction standards and safety regulations, says Acheson.

“They don’t need to have the professional knowledge of a licensed residential builder, but they should have a minimum level of understanding so that they can oversee the construction of their own new home,” she adds.

Owners who receive an Owner Builder Authorization may hire tradespersons to work on the home and must also be able to manage the construction process.

They must not hire a general contractor to build the home for them.

Improving owner builders’ knowledge is also an important aspect of protecting consumers as a whole, says Acheson. An owner builder is allowed to sell their home 12 months after it is completed and a future purchaser will want to know that the construction was overseen by someone with at least a basic understanding of the correct procedures.

The exam will be offered on an ongoing basis at approximately 50 locations across B.C. It will be a computer-based test comprising 100 multiple choice questions and should take about 90 minutes to complete.

Owner builders will need to show competency in two specific areas: construction basics, and the statutory obligations and requirements that they must meet under the Homeowner Protection Act. A score of 70 per cent will be needed to pass the exam.

Acheson says the HPO will be working with education providers and industry associations to ensure that instruction is available to owner builders who may need assistance in preparing for the exam.

Information about available training is searchable on the HPO’s education registry on its website.

For more information about the new owner builder exam requirement, please visit www.hpo.bc.ca. You can also contact the Homeowner Protection Office by phone at 604-646-7050 (toll-free 1-800-407-7757) or email licensinginfo@bchousing.org

Falcon House

W

Offers the Best of Both Worlds

e are captivated by the sights and sounds of water – it brings us peace and makes us feel happier. Many of us yearn to live close to nature, yet we also want to be close to all the urban amenities city living offers.

At Falcon Homes’ newest project, Falcon House in Maple Ridge, you get it all.

“Buyers are drawn to the fact that Falcon House backs right onto a protected park and Morse Creek,” says Nicole Buckle, sales manager for Falcon House. “Falcon House is also only a few minutes away from transit, shopping and entertainment, so it really is the best of both worlds.”

Backing onto the meandering Morse Creek in a park-like setting, Falcon House is a collection of 40 condominiums, ranging in size from 631 to 2,014 square feet, in the heart of this central location.

“We offer one, two, two-and-den and a few three-bedroom homes. Several of our homes offer mountain views to the north and are close to a number of parks and walking/cycling trails,” she adds. “In less than three weeks we have sold more than 30 per cent of our residences.”

Clad in classic red-brick, with blacktrimmed Juliette windows and fully landscaped gardens, these contemporary West Coast homes are distinguished by open interiors. Welcoming and bright, each home offers over-height ceilings

(between nine and as high as 12 feet on the top floors), sprawling windows, designer wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the living space and laundry rooms with options for counter space and storage.

The master ensuite features frameless glass, mirrored medicine cabinets and in most residences there are also freestanding tubs and low-threshold showers.

For more than three decades, the multiple-award-winning builder has built a reputation for constructing superior homes. Known for their building quality and craftsmanship, inspired floorplans and an artist’s sense of colour and texture, Falcon Homes is proud to present Falcon House.

“Fred Formosa is well known for his high-end finishing. The finishes that come standard in his homes are often upgrades in other developments,” adds Buckle. “Several plans offering a double-ensuite design.”

Falcon House is showcased by kitchens that feature a stainless steel appliance package with an extra-large 36-inch fridge and built-in microwave, dedicated dining room spaces, closet organizers, private secure lockers ranging from 30 to 96 square feet, and outdoor balconies and patios ranging from 140 to 810 square feet.

At Falcon House every detail has been carefully planned to offer affordable

living spaces. This is your opportunity to be part of a scenic and vibrant neighbourhood minutes from parks, shopping, culture, and entertainment.

Prices start from $241,900 for onebedrooms, two-bedrooms from $355,900 and three-bedrooms start at $544,900.

The Falcon House presentation centre, located at the corner of Brown and 224th Street in Maple Ridge, is

Question: I’ve injured myself and I know that using heat and ice can help. But my question is: when should I use heat and when should I use ice?

Answer: Both heat and ice are simple yet effective ways to combat pain without the use of conventional painkillers. As a general rule, you should apply ice to injured or sore areas whenever there is inflammation that produces swelling. Putting ice on the inflamed area will decrease blood flow and reduce swelling, thereby removing the pressure on your pain fibres.This then decreases your pain.

Heat has the opposite effect. It produces a vasodilatory response in the blood vessels that causes more blood to rush into the area.

If this area is already swollen, the increased blood flow will actually put more pressure on your pain fibres and create more pain. But blood also brings healing agents when it enters an injured area. As a result, heat can help once the swelling and inflammation ceases and only stiffness remains.

Having trouble with hardto-reach spots like knees or elbows? Try freezing some water in a styrofoam cup, removing the cup’s rim and applying the exposed ice through a towel. Of course, be sure to contact your doctor before using heat or ice on an injured area.

Question: I sit at a desk all day at work and my back often feels tight when I get home. Is there a good stretch that I can do to relieve this discomfort?

Answer: Stretching out your latissimus dorsi and back extensor muscles should pro-

SMART + SIMPLE

vide some good relief and help you to limber up some of those tight muscles. To stretch these areas, try the Prayer Stretch, which is completed by kneeling on a mat and stretching your arms forward in front of your head with your palms down.

The key to this stretch is to keep your gluteal muscles in contact with your heels and your arms stretched out as far as possible.You should feel it through the middle and outer part of your back and down into your lower back. Hold the stretch for 60 seconds and perform daily.You can also stretch your lower back by pulling both of your knees to your chest for 45 to 60 seconds while lying on your back.

Stretching is also a good stress reliever, so be sure to relax and breathe deeply.

Braves crunch playoff numbers By winning three of final four games, bantam team a good bet for playoff berth Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It could take Google maps to decipher the full playoff picture in the B.C. 15-under bantam AAA baseball league.

For Burnaby Braves manager Kyle Williams, the easiest combination would be four-and-oh.

Burnaby enters its last week of action looking to lock up a spot in the top-seven – with fourth place the best outcome.With four games left, the odds look in their favour.

A recent winning streak put them in good stead, but in a clot of six teams with near-identical records, two losses could be costly.

“We know going 4-0 (over the final four games) gets us in if we get no help,” said Williams of his 17-11 team.

“Three wins should do it, and even 2-2 could do. But we’d rather take control.”

Since the start of June, the Braves have posted a 6-2 league record, maintaining a strong run after stumbling out of the gate 1-4 to start the season.

But their last league test was a 7-1 setback to 17-10 Richmond, where they trailed 6-0 after two innings. Five of those runs were of the unearned or unnecessary kind.

Despite the score, the pitching was solid as starter Evan Hoegler gave up just two hits while Aidan Tomalty and JackYaremko worked two innings each.

“For whatever reason we seem to implode once every four-or-five games defensively,” said Williams, “and it usually happens early (in the game).”

They also split a doubleheader with visiting Victoria last weekend, bouncing back from a 7-6 with an 8-1 rout.

Sam Van Snellenberg pitched a complete game in the win over Victoria, limiting the opposition to just four hits while fanning seven. Kaz Kada contributed with three hits.

That they are six games over .500 and still looking behind them, with four games to play, reveals how tight a league the 15 u AAA is.

Burnaby visits 4-22 Kamloops this weekend, hosts White Rock on Monday (6 p.m. at Kensington) and finish the regular season Tuesday in PoCo.

Collision avoided: Burnaby Blue Jays’ Massimo Luongo, left, and Matteo Lesjak chase after a pop-up in their semifinal under-15 A bantam playoff game against the Burnaby Red Sox. The Jays prevailed 4-2 in extra innings, then went on to claim the Western Lower Mainland interlock title with a 10-0 mercy rule victory over Vancouver.

Lakers clipped by Shamrocks in battle of the green

They played a good game of pursuit, but in the end the Burnaby Lakers came up short against the reigning Mann Cup champions.

A shorthanded goal by Victoria’s Jesse King put the Lakers’ rally on ice in a 12-9 loss at the Copeland Sports Centre on Tuesday.

Until King’s fourth goal of the night, which

came with 7:14 remaining in the third, Burnaby appeared poised to push for overtime.

Jackson Decker made it a one-goal game early in the third, after King had opened the period with a powerplay tally.

While Burnaby trailed the whole night, they were able to stay within striking distance

golfburnaby.ca

much of the way. Robert Church led the Lakers with three goals, while Neil Arbogast, Matt Beers, Ilija Gajic, Scott Jones and Dane Stevens added singles.

Burnaby, at 3-4, visits first-place Maple Ridge on Sunday, and hosts Langley next Tuesday, 7:45 p.m. at the Copeland arena.

Just Play!

The Vancouver Whitecaps Residency under-16 boys got two goals from Burnaby’s Alan Camacho in the opening 25 minutes, en route to a 3-0 win over Kendall SC in the first game of the USSDA playoffs.

Camacho, who led the USSDA in scoring with 29 goals in 31 games, opened the scoring at the 10-minute mark, converting a corner kick.

The Whitecaps u-18 squad were just as efficient, as Burnaby’s Terran Campbell netted the game winner in the second half in a 2-1 win over Chargers SC. Campbell, who led the club with 16 goals during the season, also set up the first goal.
